How Baby Hummingbirds Are Fed

This Video Of Baby Hummingbirds Eating Will Make Your Day

Often, it's the teeny-tiniest of creatures that elicit the biggest "aww." This about sums up our reaction to an adorable video from the Raptor Education Group that recently resurfaced online. In the clip, below, a wildlife rehabilitator demonstrates what feeding time is like for two impossibly small hummingbird chicks — all tucked in and cozy in their little nest.

"A nest, complete with tiny ruby-throated hummingbird chicks, arrived yesterday after it came down in a storm," the group wrote on Facebook. "We were not able to replace it, but will continue to try when weather clears. Few people have the honor of witnessing baby hummingbirds as they are fed."

Fortunately, we no longer have to wait for an update. After the scene above was recorded, back in 2013, the hummingbirds thankfully grew up to be big and strong.

"The babies thrived and developed well," their rescuers wrote this week. "They were released at a site that is well known for feeding hummingbirds and has food always available for them, to provide a support system as they incorporate into the wild world."
